Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Introduced in mid-18th century Britain, double series opaque twist glasses feature decorative white glass threads encased within a clear lead glass stem, frequently crafted with elongated bowls tailored specifically for serving ale.

Glassmakers inserted rods of opaque white enamel glass into a mould filled with molten clear lead crystal, which was then heated, drawn out, and twisted to form the internal spiralled stem pattern.

Genuine Georgian stemware typically exhibits slight asymmetry, wear around the base, a rough or smoothed pontil mark beneath the foot, and a distinct greyish-blue tint characteristic of period lead glass.

Displaying antique glass vessels inside a lit glass-front cabinet or arranged along a sideboard top allows ambient light to highlight the internal stem detailing and surface engravings.

Wash individual pieces by hand using lukewarm water, a mild neutral soap, and a soft cloth, avoiding dishwashers and extreme temperature changes that can induce thermal shock or clouding.
